We are just planning our trip to Albania for about 5 days starting in Tirane. Do you know of any reliable tour guide to contact. We do not want to drive a car there and it appears the way to go is with a private driver. Is it possible to take a taxi from city to city without breaking the bank. In other words, is taking a private taxi about the same in fees as a guide would charge. We are getting rates of about $200 a day just for the guide.Not including anything else but the guide and the car. I wonder what a taxi would charge fr om point A to B. Then the next day take another taxi from Point B to C and so on. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi GlorKurban. The daily money that you are getting for a taxi and a guide is totally overrated. With that I mean that you will not be charged that much for a daily trip with a taxi, from lets say Tirana to Gjirokastra, Tirana-Saranda, Tirana-Kruja and so on. In Albania taxi drivers have no machines to calculate the amount, and u always make a previous deal and the work is done. U will probably pay 50 or maximum 60 euros or even lesser considering distance, but do not agree to more than that. for example me and my friends would always get a taxi to go from tirana to the macedonian border, and we never paid more than 40 thousand albanian Lek, which is something like 35-36 Euros. Also, u will be able to be better informed to the hotel where u are residing, and u can also learn about the prices. But as I said 200 dollars a day for a guide would make a taxi driver the richest taxi driver in Albania lol : ) Renting a car is also not a bad idea. My parents live in Greece, and even though the quality of the roads is no comparison, by being careful they have managed to travel all across the country and never have had any troubles. So you should really not be worried about transport.
